Join the HLAA Mid-Hudson Chapter for an informative session on fraud prevention.

In an era of increasingly sophisticated scams, staying one step ahead is more important than ever. The HLAA Mid-Hudson Chapter invites both members and the general public to a vital presentation designed to empower the hearing loss community against fraud. Scammers often use high-pressure tactics that can be especially challenging to navigate with hearing loss.

Details: Social time will be from 4:30 to 5:15. We will start Zoom at 5:15 PM, and the regular meeting will begin from 5:15 to 6:30 PM.

Speaker: Brian Jones, Outreach Coordinator at the Dutchess County Office for the Aging.
